International Trade

In Question Period on international trade, the Conservatives asked about U.S. tariffs, saying the Prime Minister calls the tariffs damaging but is willing to wait years to resolve them, and they asked that the government send the trade minister back to Washington to negotiate now. They also pointed to job losses in recent months and said Canada’s negotiators made concessions without defined terms before walking away. The Liberals replied that the government is creating thousands of jobs in provinces across the country and said the Conservatives talk down Canada instead of helping build it. Most of the exchange consisted of these competing statements about jobs and negotiations.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
